Finished Treatment One Year Ago

A tremendous accomplishment for Julie, seen here with Sean Parnell, the Governor of Alaska.

Last Friday was the one year mark from her last round of chemo. Surviving stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer... two surgeries, three rounds of chemotherapy, nearly two months of radiation, and a year living in Seattle under the TLC of dear family and friends, and she is now disease-free.

We can't believe that it's been a year already. The port in her chest finally comes out this Thursday. One less reminder...

Julie will start the reconstruction process in September, just about two years since she lost both of the girls. Taking their place will be the "boobies of a 20-year old!!" She can't wait to not have to wear a bra anymore...

Yet another reason never to waste a minute. Life is too short.
